Ever feel like you're constantly pushing against the natural flow of life—overworking in winter, burning out in summer, or just feeling off without knowing why? Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old science of life, teaches that our bodies are deeply connected to nature’s rhythms. When we align with these seasonal shifts, we unlock more ease, energy, and resilience.

In this final episode of Season 1, I sit down again with my soul sister and life coach, Ayurveda practitioner and spiritual guide, Katelyn Sonnier, to break down how you can use this ancient wisdom to bring balance to your modern life. We explore how to identify your Ayurvedic constitution (dosha), why seasonal shifts impact your energy, and the simple shifts you can make to feel more aligned, nourished, and at ease.

✨ We dive into:

✔️ What Ayurveda is and why it’s the science of life (4:30)

✔️ How to find your dosha & why it’s your fault line, not your identity (7:12)

✔️ The seasonal cycles and why they impact your mood, digestion & energy (16:38)

✔️ Why women experience multiple seasons in a month & how to honor that (20:19)

✔️ The spring cleanse: How clearing out winter’s heaviness resets your system (22:35)

✔️ Why tuning into nature’s rhythms is the key to long-term vitality (37:14)

If you’re ready to feel more energized, intuitive, and in flow with life, this episode is for you!

Have you ever had a gut feeling about something—one that felt so clear and certain—but you second-guessed it? Maybe you talked yourself out of it. Maybe you let fear or logic take over. Maybe you ignored it altogether… only to realize later that your intuition was right all along.

This week on She Speaks, I sat down with my friend, Dr. Isabel Meijering, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, life coach, and soul sister, to talk about how our biggest struggles often point us toward our true path—if we’re willing to listen.

We’re diving into:

✔ Why burnout drowns out your intuition (and how to clear the noise so you can hear it again)
✔ The unexpected link between nervous system regulation and trusting yourself
✔ How to recognize the difference between fear-based thinking and true inner knowing

💡 Listen in as we explore:
✔️ [07:45] Why we often ignore our intuition (and how to tune back in)
✔️ [12:30] How Isabel made a life-changing decision based on a gut feeling—and never looked back
✔️ [20:15] The connection between nervous system healing and intuition (and why burnout blocks clarity)
✔️ [30:40] How to tell the difference between fear-based thinking and intuitive knowing
✔️ [42:50] Practical ways to strengthen your intuition & start trusting yourself

If you’ve ever questioned your path or felt stuck in the “what now?” phase of life, this episode is for you.
